    If you are talking about the I-693 medical exam, I don't think any insurance covers the costs or even partial costs. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/798091-request-for-form-i-693-courtesy-email/page/2/#findComment-10826873 The Civil Surgeon we went to was in our health insurance network, but the clinic did not deduct any of the costs even with our health insurance card. You can call around / shop around, but the costs I found in Atlanta were around 300-400, even if you want the doctor to do the minimum like transcribe the vaccine record. In our case, my foreign spouse was missing a vaccine dose, so we paid an extra 160 just to get it done that day. We could have probably gotten the vaccine dose at Kroger for free, covered by our health insurance, but we wanted the I-693 paperwork done ASAP to submit to USCIS. Do you have dental coverage from work? Even with most dental coverage, expect the extraction and crown to be 500-1000 or higher.

    Do your research on how long it will take to get your marriage certificate. Depending on which county clerk, it can take a few days to over a month to get the marriage certificate, which can be your official name change. @Loren Y is a marriage officiant in Las Vegas that can get take your marriage license, perform a short ceremony, file for your marriage certificate and you can get the marriage certificate the same day. Don't know if he still logins to VJ? If you can send off your I-485 within 1 month of US entry, then you are balling. You should make sure that you have enough time after getting the marriage certificate to update name changes (if you have name change) to banks, state ID, SSN, etc. before the I-94 expires.

    The extension letter is nothing without the green card? So in other words, can not travel after green card is surrendered and before the US passport issued?

  17. EatBulaga
    I'm asking for someone not on VJ. If an interview is scheduled, can one travel outside of the country before the scheduled interview and return for the interview using the GC and 48-month extension letter? Or will the interview be re-scheduled? If an interview is scheduled, can one travel outside of the country after the interview but before the oath if the GC is taken back? Or after the oath before the US passport? Thanks in advance.

    You can follow the AOS guide at https://www.visajourney.com/guides/adjustment-of-status-k1-k3-visas/ AOS needs to include marriage certificate from the county clerk, not just the marriage license. It doesn't hurt to include some bona fide relationship evidence with the I-485. But you definitely need to include more evidence of bona fide relationship with the I-751.

  22. EatBulaga
    You can follow @Sukie advice to include affidavits in your I-751. After moving each time, did you update with the AR-11 to USCIS? https://www.uscis.gov/ar-11 You should have updated the drivers licenses/state IDs and statements with the updated addresses after each move. I'm a big fan of using the I-751, Part 11, Additional Information, to explain unique situations and evidence like address history, etc. You can also include copies of driver's licenses or state IDs with matching addresses or joint bank account(s)/credit cards with matching addresses, etc.

  24. EatBulaga
    Please complete your Timeline. If you already filed, then it's too late anyway to worry. The 3 tax return transcripts should be sufficient. If not, USCIS will send an RFE.

    I think applying for naturalization actually shortens the green card process for many.
  29.    Edward and Jaycel reacted to a post in a topic: I-134 questions (Merged)
  30. EatBulaga
    If you have an end date, then the consulate may assume the K1 beneficiary has no intention to AOS and plan to return to home country after marriage. For my K1 beneficiary, we put No End Date.
  31. EatBulaga
    Has the I-129F been sent to the consulate yet from the NVC? You send the I-134 to the K1 beneficiary to take to the consulate interview. Wait till the consulate has the case and the K1 beneficiary has scheduled the medical and interview before putting down the From date estimate. For the To date, select No End Date. Then send the I-134 with the latest financial support information to the K1 beneficiary. You can look back at our Profile->Our Story to see our sequence of events/actions. Edit: I see that medical is in 2025-01 and interview is in 2025-02, so you should send the K1 beneficiary now. And put down the anticipated From date.
  32. EatBulaga
    The K1 interview can be requested for any third country consulate as long as the K1 beneficiary can show legal status there. Plus, the consulate interviews may ask if they resided in any country(s) illegally. Given what you wrote, it may be best to get the Portugal residency first, before the K1 interview. Or if the Portugal residence does not come first, request the K1 interview in the home country Peru, and have a detailed explanation of the Portugal residence and work situation. To make a change in the consulate interview, best to do it before the NVC stage.
  33. EatBulaga
    If you look at our Timeline or Our Story, it took us 6 months to get the EAD after expedite request. AOS was approved after 9 months. Approval times can vary greatly. VJ members data for EAD at https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/eadstats.php VJ members data for AOS at https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/aosstats.php
  34.    EatBulaga reacted to a post in a topic: Consulate sent a document, but we’re not sure what it is
  35. EatBulaga
    Yes. As @SalishSea said you can request the K1 interview be at a 3rd country provided the beneficiary has legal status there. According to the latest VJ data https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/stats.php The average number of days from the consulate receiving the case from NVC to the interview are: 34 days: Pakistan 78 days: United Arab Emirates So Pakistan seems faster to the interview than UAE. The consulate would want police records or single status document of both the home country and the third country. For the beneficiary who wants to continue working in the 3rd country while waiting for K1 approval, these are the trade-offs
